Let's replica Patek Philippe 3998 Men's Watch see if the Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma can change that.SpecsPrice: US$89.99Platform: PC/MacWhat's in the box: Headphones, THX adapter, detachable microphone.After a week spent with the Sigma, I'm going to have to report that no, these headphones do not change that.

They boast 3D sound, can be plugged into replica Patek Philippe 3919G Men's Watch regular headset and microphone ports for other uses (like on an iPod), and if you feel like a drunken laugh also have a feature that will disguise your voice.
